Canson Infinity Baryta Photographic II

The second generation of the Baryta Photographique range has improved handling and finishing characteristics, the company says The new range is also evolving in size and is now available in sheets and rolls up to 60-inches wide. This generation features a more structured surface aspect, reminiscent of traditional fiber-based darkroom papers.

Baryta Photographique II will be available starting from January 2020 and in Q2 2020 Canson Infinity will also be introducing the new Baryta Photographique II Matt. Equally benefitting from improved handling and finishing characteristics, it has a smooth matt surface finish, which accentuates the detail within the image.

The Baryta Photographique II range have a true 100% barium sulphate layer (baryta) which offers exceptional contrast and detail as well as a wide color gamut. They also have an extremely high D-Max to produce black and white images with depth and clarity and color images with exceptional vibrancy and intensity. Both papers have a traditional photographic alpha-cellulose base, the company said.
 
For both fine art photo papers of the Baryta Photographique range, ICC profiles developed in-house by technical experts using the latest state-of-the-art equipment, are available to download for free from the Canson Infinity website.
